Appiicatinirfiied october 25, 1907. serial No. 399,098.

To all whom it may concern; K Be it known that I,` WALTER HURsT, of the city of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements in Noodle-Cutters, of which the following is a speciflcatio j i This invention relates to an improved de-` vice for cutting noodles from a thm sheet of dough; and it consists in a cutter provided With an appliance whereby the newly cut noodles may be Vcollectively lifted from the cutter, as Will hereinafter fully appear.

In the further description of the vsaid invention which follows, reference Yismade to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof and in Which, t Figure 1 is anrexterior side view of the improved cutter With thje noodle liftingV appliance shown as raised from the cutting devices. Fig. 2 isa plan of Fig. l, and Fig. 3 an enlarged cross section of a part cutter. ,A

Referring now to the drawing, l is a board having its central part a of considerably` greater thickness than the ends b. The lpart a is provided With Va multiplicity of longitudinally extending grooves@ into each of Which is forced a metallic strip 2 of U shaped cross section; and the strips project above the surface of the part a of the board, as'

shown particularly in 3.'

3 is a metallic plate hinged to one end ofv the board, and slotted so as to fit loosely over the U shaped strips, as shown by its dotted delineation in Fig. 1. Y

I. WHITE- of the To repare the cutter for use, the hinged slotte late 3 is folded down as shown by the dotted ines in Fig. l, and the full lines in Fig. 3. A Vsheet of dough is then rolled out to the required thickness, and then placed upon the cutting strips. The sheet of dough is then rolled with a rolling pin, which forces the dough into the spaces formed by the U shaped strips and the spaces between them. The surplus dough, or that extending be- .yond the cutting strips slotted plate 3 is lifted anV thrown back, when the noodles lifted by the plate Vare deposited ron any suitable receptacle placed at the hinged end 0f the board to receive them.V

The object in making the cutting strips of U shaped cross section is to simplify the construction of the device, as to employ single lflatY strips Would involve the cutting of double the number of grooves in the board.

I claim as my invention Y In a noodle cutter a board provided lwith a multiplicity of grooves, With cuttin strips of U shaped section, Which are seatedg in the grooves and separated to a distance Which is practically the same as the Width of the strips, `combined With a slotted plate Which is hinged to the board and adapted to be folded pvr thecutting strips, substantially as specii WALTER I. WHITEHUEST. l Witnesses:
